Every good rock band needs a logo. The bigger and better your band gets, the more ubiquitous that logo is, and the more that image -- often without any words to associate it with the band -- stands just fine as a symbol of the group. There are specific criteria that separates the best logos from the rest, some objective and most subjective. I won't list them. You get it.

Frank Isola, the NY Knicks' beat writer (and one of the few Knicks writers who is not a suck-up), put up a great piece today on Oak:
